The route
From Paddington (W2) the natural line out is the A40 and the A404, joining M40 J9, then A41 and Pingle Drive for the last part of the journey. The whole thing runs to about 60 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 1h 30m off-peak becomes 2h 05m when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
Where we meet you at Bicester Village
The Pingle Drive drop-off, by the Village entrance. The Village car parks fill by 10:00 at weekends and in the run-up to Christmas, so being dropped at the door saves the circling.
Address: 50 Pingle Drive, Bicester, OX26 6WD.
Pickups across Paddington
Any address in Paddington works, along with the wider W2 area of Central London. Home, office, hotel or station - the driver comes to the door and helps with bags.
Paddington has a rank, but it empties the moment a train unloads. A car booked to meet your service waits on W2 instead of you waiting on the pavement.
When to leave
Leaving Paddington about 2h 05m before your booked entry time keeps you ahead of the queue at the gate.
Getting back from Bicester Village
Coming back to Paddington costs the same £151. The driver holds at the pickup point rather than circling, so you are away as soon as you reach the car.

EES and your airport transfer
How early should I get to a European airport for my flight home?
ABTA advises arriving at least two hours before departure, because the EES exit check can add time at busy airports.
My flight home might land late because of EES queues. What happens to my transfer?
Give your flight number when you book, so the driver can follow the actual landing time rather than the scheduled one.
How does EES affect the 90/180-day rule?
EES records every entry and exit digitally instead of relying on passport stamps, so days spent in the Schengen area are counted automatically and overstays are flagged.
Do I need ETIAS as well?
Not yet. ETIAS, the EU's separate online travel authorisation, has not launched, so there is nothing to apply for. The EU will announce a start date months in advance; until then, avoid websites that charge for it.
EES is the EU's digital border check for non-EU travellers, fully in use since April 2026. It is not a visa. Checked September 2026; rules can change, so see the EU Travel to Europe site before you travel.
